Wang Pufang nodded and said, "The young general understands, if the adult has any orders, please speak up, and the young general will fully cooperate with the governor!" ”

Lian Guoshi nodded with satisfaction, "Now the matter of Chenggu has caused a lot of waves in Hanzhong, and the gentry also hate it, now what we have to do is to control the evidence of Liu Fan's crime, as long as there is evidence in hand, the official will be sure to catch it all." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info General Wang, you go back to Chenggu now and tell Liu Fan, let him come to Hanzhong to see me, and when he leaves Chenggu, you will find a way to collect incriminating evidence. It's not hard for you, is it? ”

Wang Pu's face changed, and in an instant, his whole face was covered with clearly visible hesitation and worry. ”

Wang Pu hesitated and said, "Lord Governor, collecting evidence is not too difficult for the junior general, how can I say that there are also my 5,000 men and horses in the military camp in Chenggu now, but Lord Governor, are you sure that we can move Liu Fan down after we find the evidence?" That Liu Fan is now deeply favored! Hou Xun's lessons from the past, don't adults know? I'm afraid that the young general can't give Liu Fan a fatal blow based on this thing alone, once he is exonerated by him, how should you and I deal with it? ”

Lian Guo's heart sank, and he was also a little worried, he didn't want to do the thing of fighting a snake and not dying but being bitten, so he turned his head to Wang Pu and said, "According to the opinion of the king, what should we do?" ”

Wang Pu was overjoyed in his heart, and cautiously persuaded, "Lord Governor, this matter is in the opinion of the young general, it is better to be quiet, anyway, it is not us who are most anxious now, but those gentry." With the temperament of those gentry, they would not just give up after suffering such a big loss. We might as well stand still and let those gentry try Liu Fan's depth, if those gentry's counterattack can work, then it will not be too late for the governor to stand up and preside over the overall situation. If it doesn't work, then we can completely push this matter away, pretend not to know, and don't dare to investigate it further than Liu Fan. And the most important thing is that Liu Fan is still of some use to the governor now, the situation in Hanzhong is now chaotic and difficult to distinguish, the thieves don't know when they will come, we still need Liu Fan to deter the thieves, if you drive them away now, it is actually not good for the governor, what do you say? ”

Lian Guoshi turned back suddenly, stared at Wang Pu suspiciously, and said, "General Wang, why have you been speaking for Liu Fan?" Do you and Liu Fan really have a deep hatred? Why does the official think that you don't feel like his enemy, but like a lobbyist sent by him? ”

Could it be that this old fox saw it? Wang Pu was shocked in his heart, but he said quietly on his face, "The adult misunderstood the young general, how could the young general be Liu Fan's lobbyist?" Well, the young general admits that I have some selfish intentions, but in fact, the young general doesn't want to bring down Liu Fan now. Well, the governor probably knows a little bit about it. Yes, that's because Liu Fan's current existence is still useful to the young general, and I need to use his strength to fulfill my wish and get promoted and make a fortune! ”

Lian Guoshi's face was ugly, and he said: "Does General Wang mean that he does not agree with this official to deal with Liu Fan?" Hehe, this official knows that you are a raccoon dog! Hum! Now that you know it, the official is too lazy to hide it, go back and tell Liu Fan, let him get out of the city for me, otherwise the old man won't be able to spare him! ”

"Governor, slow down!" Wang Pu snorted and said, "My lord, please listen to me, and it's not too late to make a decision." ”

Lian Guoshi glanced at Wang Pu and said disdainfully: "Why does General Wang still want to continue to deceive the official?" Okay, I'll give you this opportunity today, and I'll see what tricks you can come up with! ”

Wang Pu bowed and said, "My lord, in fact, you really misunderstood the young general. It's not that the young general doesn't want Liu Fan to die, but he doesn't want him to die now! Liu Fan's existence is not only valuable to young generals, but also equally important to adults. Sir, think about it, what can those gentry give you? It's nothing more than some fame and money. But Liu Fan is different, what he can bring you is real feats. Now that the thieves are in decline, the officers and soldiers of all walks of life are gearing up to step on the corpses of the thieves to make a meritorious achievement. But are thieves really that easy to fight? If it was really that easy to fight, it would be impossible for these thieves to crisscross the Central Plains for so many years, but the imperial court had no choice. Adults must know this too! ”

Lian Guoshi nodded, "Yes, the rogue is cunning and ruthless, and it is very difficult, you don't need to say this, and the official knows this." But what does this have to do with Liu Fan? ”

"How can it be okay," Wang Pu hurriedly explained, "My lord, the strength of this broken army is obvious to all, it can be said that there are few comparable in the current official army, and the strength of the thief is also not small, it is precisely that one of these two is an official, the other is a thief, and they are inherently opposite!" The snipe and the clam compete, and the fisherman profits. Whether Liu Fan defeated Liukou or Liukou defeated Liu Fan, it was good for adults. If Liu Fan wins, then as the governor, this overall command is indispensable. If Liu Fan is defeated, his strength will inevitably be greatly damaged, then we can take the opportunity to punish him and give an explanation to the gentry. My lord, why are you in a hurry to put Liu Fan to death, he is already full of enemies, even if adults don't deal with him, there are people who want to deal with him. Why don't you sell him well, and wait for his use value to be squeezed out, and then it is not too late to get rid of him, so that you will not kill three birds with one stone, sir, you say? ”

Wang Pu's words hit the heart of practicing state affairs, and practicing state affairs had to consider the gains and losses, as Wang Pu said, Liu Fan's existence still has a great effect on practicing state affairs, otherwise practicing state affairs would not have bothered to win over Liu Fan. But now what worries Lian Guowu is that Liu Fan's outrageous behavior has touched his bottom limit, and if he shields Liu Fan, it will cause great damage to his reputation. Lian Guoshi is a person who cherishes feathers, and as a civil official, he doesn't want to be charged with slaughtering gentry. For a time, he was in a dilemma, he didn't want to give up the low-hanging fruit, and he didn't want his reputation to be damaged.

Seeing the hesitation of practicing state affairs, Wang Pu took the opportunity to add a fire and said, "Lord Governor, according to the young general's opinion, Liu Fan's actions in Chenggu may not be a bad thing for adults. Think about it! Liu Fan is a military attaché, and this matter of governing the place was not within his purview. Moreover, he was sent by His Majesty for the purpose of fighting, not for the purpose of pacifying the government. So for Chenggu, Liu Fan is just a passerby, and he is destined not to stay in Chenggu for a long time. Shaanxi is still up to adults after all. As long as Liu Fan leaves, Chenggu is not an adult who has the final say? The more prosperous he Liu Fan built the city, the more beneficial it would be to adults. Now what Liu Fan has done is just in vain, all of this is for you, Lord Governor, what do you say? ”

Practicing state affairs is exciting, Wang Pu is right, Liu Fan is a guest after all, even if he has great ability, it is impossible to move the city solid, as long as Liu Fan leaves, he has a way to take all the achievements of the city as his own. Thinking of this, Lian Guoshi couldn't help but say, "What General Wang said is extremely true, this official will put up with him for the time being, and when the thief is defeated, it will not be too late to deal with him!"
